Man arrested in connection with Dublin riot

A man in 30s has become the latest person to be arrested in connection with the Dublin riot last year.

Dozens of people have been arrested in connection with incidents in the Irish capital on November 23, which have been described as “unprecedented” public disorder by gardai.

The rioting broke out after three children and a care worker were injured in an attack outside a primary school and creche on Parnell Square East, for which a man has been charged and appeared before the courts.

Tens of millions of euro of damage was done to public infrastructure during the disorder which saw buses, trams and Garda cars set on fire and shops in O’Connell Street and Henry Street looted.

On Thursday, a man in his 30s was arrested under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984 and detained at a Garda Station in the Dublin Region.

Gardai said investigations are continuing and appealed for anyone with information about “the events on that day or anyone involved in organising or participating in these events” to contact them.
